Well that's what I was thinking. But it still turned out to be pretty frustrating.

I was mainly looking for a second hand Mercedes but I did get involved with other loose females! Most people seemed to be asking way more than the value of the vehicle - some people wanted two or three times as much. I expect every seller to add on a bit of wiggle space on the asking price but not to double or tripple the value of the vehicle. May be I got unlucky but all of the vehicles I went to see in the last three months are still for sale (except for one).
